Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes outside of the refrigerator.
Thoroughly combine with ¼ cup freshly chopped chives.
Recommend: Use scissors to chop small pieces of chives directly over a small mixing bowl with the cream cheese.
Add chive cream cheese (either pre-mixed or homemade) to a Ziploc bag. Snip one corner to create a piping bag.
Pipe the cream cheese onto the face of petite rye bread. Delicately fold thin slices of Krakus Polish Deli Ham over the cream cheese, using the cheese as a base to hold the ham in place. Garnish canapés with assorted toppings, such as asparagus spears, Polish dill pickles, hardboiled eggs, radishes, and carrots.
Serve with chives as garnish (optional).
